... Last post at the end of a very difficult year for everyone with an overload of cuteness❤️... the cudly national symbol of China🐼...Giant Pandas are adored and treasured all over the world, and most zoos take great pride even in only having a few... Belgian zoo Pairi Daiza hosts five of these amazing animals... a number of breeding centers, reserves, and research facilities have been established in Sichuan to help protect the giant panda from extinction... these reserves offer the modern traveler plenty of extraordinary ways to visit pandas in their natural habitat and possibly even interact with these magnificent beasts... Chengdu has also one of the most stunning landscapes in China... Thanks Lu! (✿◠‿◠)
The Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries, located in southwest Sichuan province consist, are home to more than 30% of the world's highly endangered Giant Pandas and is among the most important sites for the captive breeding of these pandas.

In 2006, UNESCO designated the Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries a World Heritage Site.
